Hey bros,
Deep Dish sent me a PM and it's all good.
Now, on to the topic at hand. I don't think I am balding at the moment, so I may not be able to contribute much, but here goes...
All this stuff about fighting nature is a not as important as you guys are making it seem. Guys who work out all the time in order to get huge muscles are also "fighting nature" in that they are trying to control nature. Nature says "you are skinny" and you try to control it by lifting heavy weights and eating tons of protein rich foods.
Nothing wrong with that and quite frankly, the true mark of an Alpha Male, IMO, is to control and excert your will over nature. Therefore, if this can SAFELY be done in the realm of hairloss then by all means go for it. Now, I am not saying that this can be done. Using Rogaine or Propecia, IMO, would be like using steroids, in that yes you are controlling nature and excerting your will over nature; however, at too high a price: YOUR HEALTH!
Bros, I strongly urge all of you have have considered taking Propecia or Rogaine to read about other people's long term experiences on those drugs. Don't buy into all this stuff from the Pharmaceuticals about their not being any real side effects and this crap about "side effects go away after a few months while STILL taking the drug".
Guys, visit this site:
www.regrowth.com and read about people who have been on Propecia for years who still have problems with erections. Read about guys who would do anything to go back to a time before they had ever touched Propecia and have their health back. These are all real guys and they are all relaying similar experiences that the big pharmaceutical machines don't want you to know. I read all the stuff on the regrowth discussion forum and I swear that no matter what, I would never take the risk and use these drugs for my whole life if there is even a slight chance of messing whith my sexual health, with what MAKES ME A MAN!
Now one last thing. Two months ago, I met an extemely well known (on MASF) seductionist/ PUA and we had a very long conversation about many topics.
We spoke of hairloss and he told me that for two years prior to becoming a PUA, he had noticed that his hair was thinning (at age 21) and he decided to take Propecia. He used it for two years until he found MASF and learned all the stuff to improve his game. Then at that point, taking the drugs was a sign of him being an AFC. His mindset back then was: "I am such a loser that no girl will want me ever. So at least if I can hold onto my hair long enough to meet ONE woman who would marry me, then I can stop taking these drugs".
So anyways, once he became a PUA and his game became amazing, he realized that no matter how bald and no matter what happens to him lookswise, his game allows him to accomplish whatever he wants with respect to women. Therefore, he stopped taking all the drugs and just lets nature take its course. To him, the idea of taking drugs to make himself look better in the eyes of some chicks is a sign that he is AFC. His game is all that he needs and he swears that no matter how he looks, if his game is tight, he will succeed with any woman he wants.
Whether this will prove true once he's bald, I don't know. But what I do know is that his attitude is far more refreshing than guys who will take power drugs all their lives at the risk of major health problems in order to fight hairloss.
